the biggest variable is pilot skill. 3000 feet minimum dry at sea level for me.

Gents:

What do you guys use as far as personal minimums in runway length when landing
your IV’s?

I know this is kind of a simplistic question and there are lots of variables.
But lets say good weather, no head wind, sea level..... You want to
land and have a little margin for error in case you float or don’t nail
the first brick....What minimum runway would you accept?
